Role of Aromatic Topology in Hyper-Crosslinked Polymers on CO2 Adsorption and CO2/N2 Selectivity
Abstract Despite extensive studies of hyper-crosslinked polymers (HCPs) for carbon dioxide adsorption and separation, the fundamental role of aromatic precursor topology in governing localized gas confinement and molecular recognition has remained poorly understood. Herein, we de...

Controlling Chemo‐ and Site‐Selectivity Through the Formation of Radicals Adjacent to a sp 2 Carbon
Achieving high chemo‐ and site‐selectivity is crucial in organic synthesis. High selectivity directly minimizes undesired by‐products, thereby increasing the atom economy and eliminating the wasteful purification steps. While the control of chemoselectivity is precisely achieved...
